We asked some of our favorite food bloggers to share with us their 5 Favorite Food Products of 2008 and we're bringing them to you all December long.

Gina from Fitnessista is a certified Personal Trainer, Group Fitness Instructor and Nutritional Advisor. On her blog, she shares what she eats daily, plus, "tidbits that have worked for clients and helped the Fitnessista lose 40 pounds and keep it off for 6 years." Her 5 fave food products from 2008 are:

• 1. Trader Joe's Raw Unsalted Almond Butter. Try splitting a banana along the middle and spreading the almond butter in between.
• 2. Glenny's Brown Rice Crispy Treats
• 3. Fresh Market Veggie Chips
• 4. Pure Protein Bars
• 5. Medjool Dates
• Bonus: breakfast cookie (the how-to post is here: http://www.fitnessista.com/2008/11/something-worth-waking-up-for.html) & butternut squash fries
